York Memorial’s future being debated

The future of York Memorial, which was destroyed in a fire in May of last year, was debated tonight by education trustees. The board is “going to start a process to look at enrollment and utilization” Chris Tonks, the trustee, told CityTV. CityTV says there are three possibilities:

Keeping things as they are, with York Memorial independent and the nearby George Harvey continuing to operate well under capacity

Merging the two schools into George Harvey’s building

Constructing an all-new school

Yafet Tewelde, who ran to be York South–Weston’s MP, has created a petition to have the school rebuilt, among other requests.
